Denny's Opens 1,600th Restaurant

(September 2010) posted on Tue Sep 21, 2010 EDT

Partnership with Pilot/Flying J Travel Centers boosts chain’s growth


Denny's Corp. has opened its 1,600th restaurant, in Sioux Falls, S.D. The family restaurant giant attributes its growth to two major factors: its ongoing efforts to convert company-owned locales to franchisees, and a partnership with Pilot/Flying J Travel Centers that's expected to yield up to 140 new Denny's units by early next year. (The chain's 1,600th unit is a Flying J conversion.)

“We are thrilled to have crossed this important milestone and even more excited by the energy and enthusiasm that exists for the Denny's brand,” said Debra Smithart-Oglesby, Denny's interim chair and ceo. “We are continuing the transformation of this iconic brand by executing on our plan and delivering high-quality, everyday value to our guests across the system.”
